Technical Abstract

A system change assistance system includes value redefinition means 501 configured to compare two vectors, one of which is set to a first comparison subject vector and the other is set to a second comparison subject vector, each configured from a set of a value of a first item having a discrete value in which the number of possible values is finite or less than a predetermined value, and a value of a second item having a continuous value or a discrete value in which the number of possible values is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, and to change the value of the first item of the first comparison subject vector in a case where the value of the first item of each vector is matched and the value of the second item of each vector is different.

Patent Claims
9 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A system change assistance system comprising: a value redefinition unit implemented at least by a hardware including a processor and configured to compare two vectors, one of which is set to a first comparison subject vector and the other is set to a second comparison subject vector, each configured from a set of a value of a first item having a discrete value in which the number of possible values is finite or less than a predetermined value, and a value of a second item having a continuous value or a discrete value in which the number of possible values is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, and to change the value of the first item of the first comparison subject vector in a case where the value of the first item of each vector is matched and the value of the second item of each vector is different.

2

2. The system change assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein the first comparison subject vector is configured from the set of the value of the first item and the value of the second item before change of an object system, and the second comparison subject vector is configured from the set of the value of the first item and the value of the second item after change of the object system.

3

3. The system change assistance system according to claim 1 , further comprising: a storage unit implemented at least by the hardware and configured to hold a change requirement in changing the value of the first item to a different value.

4

4. The system change assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein the first item is a state of a component that configures an object system, and the second item is an arbitrary item holding a value that is related to the component of the object system and has a change possibility.

5

5. The system change assistance system according to claim 1 , wherein the value of the first item after change of the first comparison subject vector is a predetermined value that is not taken by the first item in an object system.

6

6. The system change assistance system according to claim 1 , further comprising: a storage unit implemented at least by the hardware and configured to hold the value of the first item after change in association with an identifier defined in advance for the first item before change or for the set of the first item and the second item that configure the first comparison subject vector.

7

7. The system change assistance system according to claim 1 , further comprising: an input unit implemented at least by the hardware and configured to input information including the second comparison subject vector; and an output unit implemented at least by the hardware and configured to output information including the first comparison subject vector after change.

8

8. A system change assistance method comprising: by an information processing device, comparing two vectors, one of which is set to a first comparison subject vector and the other is set to a second comparison subject vector, each configured from a set of a value of a first item having a discrete value in which the number of possible values is finite or less than a predetermined value, and a value of a second item having a continuous value or a discrete value in which the number of possible values is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, and changing the value of the first item of the first comparison subject vector in a case where the value of the first item of each vector is matched and the value of the second item of each vector is different.

9

9. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium in which a system change assistance program is recorded, the system change assistance program for causing a computer to execute processing of: comparing two vectors, one of which is set to a first comparison subject vector and the other is set to a second comparison subject vector, each configured from a set of a value of a first item having a discrete value in which the number of possible values is finite or less than a predetermined value, and a value of a second item having a continuous value or a discrete value in which the number of possible values is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, and changing the value of the first item of the first comparison subject vector in a case where the value of the first item of each vector is matched and the value of the second item of each vector is different.
